@NASA @LMSpace Welcome back 👨🏿‍💻

Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶 The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.

LIVE: They are coming home. Watch as the Artemis II crew returns to Earth, splashing down at around 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11). twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Between 1910 and 1970, more than six million African Americans left the rural South for cities in the North and West. This movement reshaped American politics, culture, labor, and identity—laying the foundation for modern urban life. #GreatMigration #USHistory

The 20th century saw the United States become a global center for physics. Figures like Richard Feynman, Chien‑Shiung Wu, and Robert Oppenheimer pushed the boundaries of quantum mechanics, nuclear science, and particle physics—reshaping both technology and geopolitics. #Physics #STEM #USHistory 📷 Photo Credit: Smithsonian Institution from United States

The Civil Rights Movement showed how organized protest, legal strategy, and moral clarity could reshape a nation. From the Montgomery Bus Boycott to the March on Washington, activists forced the country to confront its contradictions and expand its democracy. #CivilRights #AmericanDemocracy 📷 Photo Credit: Joe Mabel (Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibition "381 Days: The Montgomery Bus Boycott" at the Washington State Historical Museum.)

Alexander Graham Bell’s 1876 telephone patent marked a turning point in global communication. What began as an experiment in transmitting sound across wires became the foundation for the interconnected world we live in today. #Inventions #USHistory

After World War II, the GI Bill reshaped American society by opening access to college, homeownership, and small‑business loans for millions of veterans. It remains one of the most influential pieces of social legislation in U.S. history. #USHistory #PostwarAmerica

The Apollo program wasn’t just a Cold War competition—it was a national experiment in engineering, physics, and imagination. Thousands of scientists and mathematicians contributed to the Moon landing, including Katherine Johnson, whose orbital calculations made spaceflight possible. #NASA #STEM #USHistory #SpaceRace

The Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s transformed American culture. Writers, musicians, and thinkers like Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, and Alain Locke reshaped literature, philosophy, and the arts—asserting Black identity and creativity on a national stage. #HarlemRenaissance #USHistory

Ok but real talk — how do us regular Apple users (and FCP creators) actually benefit from this? More built-in effects/templates straight in Final Cut without paying extra? Faster updates & better optimization on Apple Silicon? Maybe some of those slick MKBHD-style transitions become native/default? Or is this mostly just Apple locking down the pro ecosystem tighter (RIP third-party support elsewhere 😅)?

Breaking: Apple acquires MKBHD......... plugin 😅 motionvfx.com/collections/mk… (But for real, I'm fascinated by this development as a longtime mVFX plugin user - we can assume this will be good for Final Cut in the next few years, and they'll probably pull support for DaVinci Resolve)

The modern digital world traces back to a handful of American pioneers. In the 1940s, the ENIAC computer—built at the University of Pennsylvania—became the first large‑scale electronic general‑purpose computer. Its programmers, many of them women mathematicians, helped launch a technological revolution that still shapes daily life. #USHistory #TechHistory #WomenInSTEM 📷 Photo Credit: Unknown Author

The collapse of major financial institutions in 2008 triggered the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. It reshaped banking regulation, political discourse, and public attitudes toward inequality and corporate power. #USHistory #Economics #ContemporaryHistory 📷 Photo Credit: Unknown author

The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City killed 146 garment workers, most of them young immigrant women. The tragedy transformed labor law, workplace safety standards, and the American labor movement. #USHistory #LaborHistory #NYCHistory 📷 Photo Credit: Massimiliano Vintaloro

Alan Turing, the British mathematician and codebreaker, basically fathered computer science. During WWII at Bletchley Park, he designed machines to crack Nazi Enigma codes, shortening the war by years. His “Turing Test” concept still defines AI debates today.

Isaac Newton, born in England in 1643, changed science forever with his laws of motion and universal gravitation. While hiding from the plague in the 1660s, he developed calculus and proved gravity pulls everything from apples to planets. The guy basically invented modern physics from a UK countryside garden.
